May's Cosmic Delights: Supermoons, Meteors & Planets
About this episode
Mays night sky over Edinburgh and Lothian offers cosmic delights: an invisible new supermoon on the 16th, two full micromoons (the second a calendar blue moon), and a sun shift from Aries to Taurus. The moon dances through Virgo to Ophiuchus, with perigee on the 17th for a supermoon. Venus and Jupiter shine brightly, and the Eta Aquarids meteor shower peaks on the 6th. Planets like Saturn peek during twilight, and constellations like the Spring Triangle dominate the southeast. Grab binoculars for Messier galaxies mid-month and enjoy the vibes before the summer triangle rises east after midnight.
